Have you found any new tools that you think will become a part of your tool bag for a while?
I have started using a little thing called Easy Matt. It comes with 2 little disks that have 2 grooves each. You just catch what you are matting into the groove and put a pencil in the hole at the middle of the disc and trace it. You still have to cut along the line but it's great for double and triple matting those things that are odd shaped.
I am also into eyelets. I had an eyelet setter. I thought that an anywhere punch was just a nice to have tool. I soon found out it was a necessity, especially for eyelets. It is also great for inserting ribbons, raffia and brads. You can punch the 1/8" hole anywhere on the page, even in the very center of your 12X12 page.
I can recommend both of these tools.
